Hello and Bienvenidos a Mexico! My name is Thalia, born and raised in Mexico City. Starting as an amateur naturalist from a young age and later on dedicating my school years to the study of life, I decided to become a biologist. The ocean and marine life had always fascinated me, so I decided to pursue my studies in that area and earned a Master's degree in Marine Ecology, specializing in marine mammal behavior. I have worked in many areas going from being a waitress to becoming a teacher, when as I was studying as was also a junior researcher. Later on, I entered the tourism industry working as a lifeguard and then as a guide and a travel agent. That's when I decided to become an official tourist guide certified by the Mexican Tourism Board. I grab every available opportunity to jump in a car, bus, train, or boat to travel. I have visited most of Mexico and have been to the USA, Canada, Cuba, Costa Rica and several countries in Europe. I enjoy sharing my experiences and teaching, therefore as I entered the world of tourism, I found the perfect opportunity to get in touch with other cultures, to teach and learn while having fun and respecting nature. Never a dull moment on my tours, always seeking for adventure, and trying to make the most out of every experience. My guests, become my friends. . . as we say in Mexico: Mi casa es tu casa! So Welcome to my world, I'll do everything possible for you to fall in love with it!

During this 8 hours tours, we will be visiting 3 towns located to the south of Puerto Vallarta. El Tuito, an hour south of Puerto Vallarta, is a nice and easy going town. Its economy relies on agriculture and farming. History is on every corner! Then my favorite parts visiting Mayto, a semi-pristine long beach, where a famous and very important turtle sanctuary is found. We can spend some time here at the beach, and then of we go! Our las stop will be Tehuamixtle a small bay, and town, where we can have some snorkeling around a , shipwreck, or hike to see some beautiful cliffs, and finally have a great sea food. Based lunch.
Thalia is ran excellent, informative, humorous guide. We were fortunate to learn so much and see what many others on cruise ships do not. Many, many out of area real local attractions and the freshest, largest portions of seafood I've ever seen. If you are in need of a guide in Puerto Vallarta, I highly recommend Thalia.

We needed to re-do our tour due to road conditions, but Thalia was great to work with and created a very pleasant itinerary for us.
We have done a dozen or so tours in PV by several "companies" and the El Tuito to Tehuamixtle is our favorite. Thalia was awesome; so much knowledge, great cultural tidbits and 8 hours of fun. There were several enjoyable stops at charming rancheras. One of our travelers was 90 years old and had no problems. The van was very nice and the chofer was very professional. We hope to have Thalia design a special tour for next year.
• Pick up • Stop at local bakery • Tuito: will be visiting the main plaza, Townhall, and church. If open, we might take a peek at a local cheese factory. and sample the delicious panela cheese if they have available • Then we are off to Mayto, it will take about 40 more minutes to reach this beautiful natural setting. A "never-ending" white sand beach, cliffs and blue water. • Our last stop: Tehuamixtle! A short 10 minutes drive will get us to this beautiful smaller bay. Here we will have lunch at a great restaurant (oysters is the town specialty) and have enough time to snorkel (shipwreck) and enjoy the calm waters. • Back to Hotel
